I'm another one of the blokes who knew Jack, and I remember him warmly. Years ago, he and his infectious enthusiasm got me and my family involved in a very interesting part of our life-journey called the Baptists, down in Clifton Springs. I've been moved by what you've shared with the rest us - a real gift. Should have been working, but kept reading! All the best. Hi Rick,

He was a good man. I only recently heard that he was no longer with us. I was very sorry to hear that. Hi Rick,

I thought it had a nice ring to it. It's a word I don't think I'd ever feel comfortable using but who knows. There's always a first time.
